Well... About to Register Our Marriage

On the street. "Mommy, look! There are two suns in the sky!" "So young and already not learning any good habits—you just have to tell lies! Yesterday you lied and said your dad was hanging out with two pretty girls, and today you're claiming there are two suns in the sky!" "It's true! Look!" Inside a hospital. "??? It's over. Did my surgery fail? Why are there two suns in the sky?" "Two suns?" Hearing that, the doctor looked bewildered. The operation had been on the patient's eyes; surely his brain hadn't been sliced up, right? Should he... transfer him to the psychiatric ward for an evaluation? Thinking this, he also looked up toward the sky. Instantly, his gaze turned blank and dull. At that moment, all across Arch Star, cries of astonishment broke out. Countless people lifted their heads toward the heavens, their expressions filled with utter disbelief. "There's really another sun in the sky!" "Could the rumors be true? A revival of spiritual qi, the awakening of the immortal dao, the descent of mythology?" "Holy crap, a sun! It's blinding my dog eyes!" "According to my limited knowledge of scientific theory, isn't Arch Star going to be destroyed in a few minutes...?" "Why in a few minutes?" "It takes light a few minutes to reach us. With an extra sun, can our Arch Star even take it?" "Are you an idiot? We can already see the sun right now, which means the light has already arrived!" "Huh?" At this moment, throughout the entire country and across every corner of the world, everyone's gaze was fixed on the firmament. Toward that sun hanging in the sky, they were filled with shock, curiosity, and sheer terror of the unknown. Some even prostrated themselves, bowing in worship toward the extra sun in the firmament. Aboard a warship, Luo Ping's eyes were filled with astonishment. For the first time, he felt that events had completely exceeded his expectations. As a Resetter, he knew the major historical records of Arch Star like the back of his hand. Even the various secret troves and ancient ruins were familiar treasures to him. Yet an extra sun appearing in the sky was something he had never heard of. He stared at the firmament, his gaze somber. Just then, a tall, alluring woman in a short blue skirt walked over from nearby. Her gaze toward Luo Ping was exceedingly gentle, as if her attention were entirely focused on him. "It's a call from Grandpa." Hearing that, Luo Ping quickly took the phone. "Old Master..." "The sun in the sky... I don't know either. Before the reset, there was never an extra sun in the sky. It might be... an unexpected anomaly." "Understood. Xiao Qin and I are on our way to Nebula Island. As soon as we get the items, we'll return immediately." Luo Ping hung up the phone, cast another glance at the sun in the sky, and then looked at his young, beautiful wife nearby. A sense of contentment welled up in his heart. "It's fine. Things like a sun appearing in the sky or the world resetting... those sorts of matters are too far removed from us. We just need to take good care of our own little family." *** Meanwhile, above Can Star, a massive aerospace fleet cruised through the far reaches of deep space. A young man dressed in a white fluid-style battle suit wore a hint of bewilderment on his face. "Professor Li, what are the probe results?" The elderly professor gazed at the large screen before him, a rare look of perplexity in his eyes. "The Grade-7 Can-Light emitted by our probes cannot make contact with... the newly appeared sun." "Cannot make contact?" A solemn expression surfaced in the young man's eyes for the first time. Can-Light was a unique light captured by the Morning Star Nation from ancient ruins excavated in the depths of space. This light possessed special properties, and Grade-7 Can-Light was best suited for reconnaissance. One could say that it was capable of probing all kinds of celestial bodies. Even with a black hole, it could scout the surrounding vicinity. Yet the probe had failed? "It seems to exist, yet also seems not to exist—hovering between the real and the unreal." Mentioning this, Professor Li paused briefly. The young man frowned, unable to understand. "Are there any clues? For instance... where did it come from, and what impact will it have on our Can Star?" At this, Professor Li shook his head. "I suspect it is related to the ancient immortal dao. However, reading the relevant records requires visiting the National Archive, and my clearance is insufficient." The National Archive was the library on Can Star with the largest collection of ancient texts, records, and literature. Most of the ancient texts inside were unique treasures that could not be checked out. Due to special reasons, ordinary technology could not digitize certain documents, let alone photograph and upload them to the network, which was why they had remained preserved in the National Archive. Professor Li wanted to enter the National Archive to investigate the matter of the suddenly appearing sun. "Understood. As soon as our fleet returns, I will submit an application to higher authority immediately!" The young man cast a glance at that elusive sun, then steered the fleet back toward Can Star. *** At the Han family residence. Han Xianyun, the Northern Crane, stretched his limbs and walked toward the courtyard exit. With only a few days left before the Martial Arts Tournament began, he needed to meet with Qi Yuan to discuss matters concerning the tournament. However, just as he reached the gate, a middle-aged man in a black jacket blocked his path. Seeing the newcomer, Han Xianyun's gaze grew respectful, laced with a trace of fear. "Elder Brother." "You're heading out... to meet Qi Yuan?" Han Kang's voice carried the air of someone in high authority. Han Xianyun could not help but lower his head. "Yes." "I advise you not to see him recently. He seems to be tangled up in something," Han Kang warned. "Huh?" Han Xianyun was bewildered, not knowing what had happened. "Did Mr. Qi get into some trouble?" Han Xianyun asked with concern. Yet recalling Qi Yuan's strength, he felt relieved again. Qi Yuan had pierced straight through the Guiran military camp with a single sword strike. What kind of trouble could he possibly have? "The trouble is very big, suspected to be related to the Seven Martial Stars. "Right now, I am at a critical juncture for entering the Provincial Cabinet. You need to be more prudent and stay out of trouble. Do you understand?" Han Kang cautioned once more. His post was already very high; one step further, and he would enter the Provincial Cabinet. It was somewhat similar to the provincial standing committee from Qi Yuan's previous life on Blue Star. "The Seven Martial Stars?" Hearing this, Han Xianyun furrowed his brows. If it were any other trouble, Han Xianyun would not be afraid in the slightest, assuming Qi Yuan could easily resolve it as well. But the Seven Martial Star families were different. The Seven Martial Star families wielded divine weapons of terror like the Eye of the Sky. Beneath the Eye of the Sky, all things were equal. That was a weapon even more terrifying than nuclear arms. "Yes." Han Kang nodded and said nothing more, walking straight into the courtyard. Inside the courtyard, an old housekeeper stepped forward. "Master, given Second Master's temperament, perhaps... should we find someone to follow him and keep watch?" Han Kang paused in his steps. He had heard a little about Qi Yuan's situation, but the specifics were not clear to him. His status was not high enough to participate in a struggle at that level. He only vaguely knew that Qi Yuan was merely a fuse—a fuse igniting a conflict between two factions. As for which faction to back... Han Kang still had no idea. In truth, if he wanted to enter the Provincial Cabinet and climb further, it was time to take a side. "No need to follow him." Han Kang shook his head. "Our parents left everything to me; I owe my younger brother a great deal. "This time... let him be. "As the saying goes, 'When brothers unite, their strength can cut through gold.' This once, as his elder brother, I'll indulge him." Han Kang spoke in a low voice. He was old enough to be his younger brother's father. Because of that, the relationship between them had always been stiff. All of the family's political resources had been poured into him, leaving his younger brother with no choice but to mingle in the martial arts circle, which made him feel somewhat guilty. In any case, he had not picked a side yet and did not know which side to choose, so he would simply treat it as his younger brother choosing for him. At this moment, Han Xianyun felt immensely conflicted. His elder brother's words filled him with anxiety. *No, I have to inform Mr. Qi of this in advance.* *If not for him, I probably would have died when I ran into that breathtaking bride last time.* Han Xianyun valued loyalty greatly. When he had mistakenly strayed into that mysterious space last time, he would have perished long ago if Qi Yuan had not stepped in. Qi Yuan had saved his life, so naturally he had to repay the favor. As for his elder brother's reminder, he could only push it to the back of his mind for now. Han Xianyun's thoughts were simple: so-called gold, silver, treasures, and authority were nowhere near as precious as life itself. Thinking this, he hastily drove toward the hotel where Qi Yuan was staying. *How did Big Brother Qi offend the Seven Martial Star families?* Han Xianyun could not fathom it. Yet at this moment, there was no time to dwell on it. After all, strange occurrences were plenty in this world, and there were even more things he could not understand. For example, an extra sun appearing in the sky? Who could understand that? No one could. Half an hour later, he finally arrived at the hotel. Before he had even parked his car, his sharp eyes immediately caught sight of a familiar figure. "Big Brother Qi?" Without any hesitation, Han Xianyun quickly got out of the car and ran toward Qi Yuan. As he ran over, he froze. Standing beside Qi Yuan was a charming young girl wearing a black, belted dress. The girl's skin was fair, forming a striking contrast with the black dress, appearing exceptionally luminous beneath the sunlight. Beneath the hem of her skirt, black stockings wrapped around her shapely, straight calves, and her raven-black hair cascaded down like a waterfall. The girl before him looked as though she had walked out of history, possessing an alluring blend of classical and modern beauty. Han Xianyun had previously thought Princess Huansha was already pretty enough, but compared to the charming girl before him, she could not match even one ten-thousandth of her grace. "This is Han Xianyun. Well, a guy I know," Qi Yuan said to the girl beside him. "He has unique taste and likes jaw-dropping women." After Qi Yuan finished, he turned to Han Xianyun and said, "This is Ning Tao, also known as Canary. She's my... well... we're about to register our marriage." At the last few words, Qi Yuan paused slightly. Dressed in her black dress, Canary was dainty and petite, utterly adorable. Hearing Qi Yuan's words, a blush crept onto her ears. "Heehee, Blood Pearl, I thought you liked men." Canary reached out and hugged Qi Yuan's arm tightly. As the sunlight spilled over the hem of her dress, she felt delightfully lazy. "Don't talk nonsense. I'm completely normal." As Qi Yuan spoke, he even cast a glance at Han Xianyun. As for who was not normal, that was naturally Han Xianyun. "It's great that you're here. You know this place well. Canary just arrived, and we're planning to buy some clothes and whatnot. Show us the way." Qi Yuan took the opportunity to be a freeloader again. In any case, this was a casual slice-of-life game. In a game like this, if he didn't buy pretty clothes for his wife to try on for him, it would be too much of a loss. After all, it was pleasing to the eye. "Brother Qi, forget shopping, this is an extreme emergency!" Han Xianyun said frantically. "I heard from my brother that one of the Seven Martial Star families seems to have targeted you and plans to move against you!" The Seven Martial Stars were a taboo in Qinyuan Kingdom. Or rather, these families had ruled this nation from antiquity to the present. The royal house had changed several times, yet the Seven Martial Stars remained standing strong. The moment Han Xianyun finished speaking, he instantly felt the surrounding air turn freezing cold, as if he had been plunged into ice. This chill came swiftly and dissipated just as quickly. To his shock, he realized the chill likely originated from the charming girl beside Qi Yuan. His heart jolted. *Could she also be a ruthless powerhouse?* "Where are the Seven Martial Stars?" Ning Tao's voice was sweet, like honey from a jar. Qi Yuan held her small hand. "It's just a game. Don't waste your energy fussing over NPCs—it's not worth the emotion." Hearing that, Canary smiled sweetly and said nothing more. "Brother Qi, I know you're very strong, but... the Eye of the Sky is too terrifying. You... might..." Han Xianyun hesitated, stumbling over his words. Qi Yuan chuckled. "Right now, I may be weak and helpless, but my wife is here. "If someone hits me, my wife steps in. I'm not afraid!" Qi Yuan spoke with swagger, resembling an arrogant scion. When the small one got beaten, the big one stepped in. With Canary around, he could walk sideways across Arch Star. Canary hugged Qi Yuan's arm tightly and nodded vigorously. "Heehee, I'll protect you this time, Blood Pearl!" Han Xianyun looked suspiciously at Canary, hesitation and bewilderment filling his heart. *Could it be that this Canary is an even fiercer monster than Qi Yuan?* *** One day later. Inside a military base. A dossier was placed on the desk. Marquis Blue Sea stood to the side, a respectful look on his face. Seated before him was a man wearing gold-rimmed glasses. The man skimmed through the dossier, a flash of admiration gleaming in his eyes. "Formidable martial power truly is everything. Even a woman like this willingly surrenders her heart." The man had seen many women; he had encountered and played with gorgeous women of every type. Yet the woman in the dossier—captured merely by an ordinary surveillance camera without any beautification filters or touch-ups—was already so breathtaking. What kind of peerless beauty would she be in real life? Seeing such a woman nestling like a little bird against Qi Yuan, a surge of jealousy involuntarily rose within his heart. "Young Master Mu, what should we do?" Marquis Blue Sea asked cautiously. His covert investigation into Qi Yuan and the theft of Qi Yuan's files had been carried out under Young Master Mu's orders. In the end, his theft had been discovered, and he had even been sent a coffin, which genuinely terrified him. That was a ruthless figure capable of slaughtering an entire Guiran military camp with a single sword strike. Although the Guiran military was fragile and far inferior to that of Qinyuan Kingdom, Qi Yuan was undeniably an absolute powerhouse in his mind. Within Qinyuan Kingdom, there were not many weapons capable of dealing with and destroying Qi Yuan. "Isn't that simple? Tomorrow, you will go in person to apologize to him. "As for me, I'll go meet his little girlfriend. "If he's sensible, he should know what to do. "If he isn't sensible, his end... will be miserable. "Then that little girlfriend of his can only become a widow—and I... just happen to like that sort of flavor." A lofty, superior expression surfaced in Young Master Mu's eyes. The Seven Martial Star families had ruled this land for over a thousand years. No matter how the emperors changed or how many uprisings occurred, those sitting at the very top remained their people. Stable and secure, they had naturally grown arrogant and conceited. Qi Yuan was indeed terrifying. But... could he compare to the formidable Can Star? One could even say that if Can Star deployed a single warship at random, it could annihilate Qi Yuan. Yet even an adversary as mighty as Can Star had met with failure in its invasion of Arch Star. The rule of the Seven Martial Stars was unbreakable. Young Master Mu possessed the capital to be arrogant. With the revival of the immortal dao, they had already seized a great deal of information regarding it. To them, Qi Yuan was merely an unstable element.
